          Appeal No. 2005-0052                                                        
          Application No. 09/192,014                                                  

          included.  For example, Irons, at column 11, lines 22-26,                   
          discloses that “information on document disposition . . . ”  can            
          be included in the coded portion of the document tag.  Again, we            
          fail to see, in the absence of any language defining the claimed            
          performed service, why disposition of the hard copy document                
          would not be considered a “service” performed on the hard copy              
          document.                                                                   
               In summary, we have sustained the Examiner’s 35 U.S.C.                 
          § 103(a) rejection of all of the claims on appeal.  Therefore,              
          the decision of the Examiner rejecting claims 1-6, 11, 14, and              
          15 is affirmed.
